Penis size has probably been a big deal going back to the time of the caveman, but the obsession with having a big penis has increased in modern culture. This is in spite of the facts that there are not physical penis health benefits to a larger penis size and that more often skill trumps size when it comes to sexual satisfaction. However, the visual appeal and association with manliness of a big penis continue to make it desirable among many men (and among many of their partners). Yet there are some downsides associated with large penis size, and one of them might be that it can increase the chance of premature ejaculation.

Premature ejaculation

Most men are aware of premature ejaculation, which involves ejaculating "too soon" after penetration. According to most medical experts, "too soon" is basically categorized as within 1 minute or less of vaginal penetration. (The typical time to ejaculation for a man otherwise is between 4 and 8 minutes.) However, in practice, premature ejaculation depends upon the expectations of the individual man and his partner(s); some define it as simply ejaculating before their partner climaxes, whether that means 1 minute or 1 hour. Around a third of men are thought to experience premature ejaculation on a somewhat regular basis.

There are several factors that might bring about premature ejaculation, but in general it occurs because the erect penis has received a degree of frictional stimulation such that orders have been released to let the semen flow. And this is where having a big penis might be a drawback.

How might big penis size matter?

A common complaint among men with big penises, and especially those whose girth is above average, is the tightness associated with vaginal penetration. (For the woman, this can result in significant pain for her.) Sometimes. the tightness is so extreme that penetration is impossible, but more often the degree of tightness increases the degree of friction. With increased friction comes increased stimulation, and this in turn may lead to a case of premature ejaculation.

Premature ejaculation is usually a cause of distress and embarrassment for any man, but may be especially so for a man with a large penis size. Having a large penis leads to expectations on the part of many women that the man will be an exceptional lover; if he then ejaculates quickly, the added expectation adds to his feelings of inadequacy.

What to do

If the cause of a man’s premature ejaculation seems to be due to his big penis, there are a couple of options that he can consider that could help:

- Increase the lubrication. Hopefully, a man with a big penis is already using lubricant during sex, in order simply to ease penetration pain for his partner. (This is especially true for those engaging in anal sex, as the anus does not have the vagina’s ability to "help things along" by producing natural lubricant.) Where a big penis is concerned, it’s better to overestimate the amount of lube than to underestimate the amount needed.

- Increase foreplay. Taking time to relax the vagina via manual or oral stimulation (as well as via kissing, cuddling, and stroking of other erogenous zones) can help to increase vaginal receptive abilities.

When the cause of premature ejaculation moves strictly beyond penis size, a man may wish to consult a doctor to determine what additional treatments he can consider.

Premature ejaculation from a big penis size can be a challenge, so a man doesn’t need other penis health issues on top of it. Therefore, he needs to make daily application of a first-class penis health oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) a priority. The chosen oil should include moisturizers like shea butter and vitamin E to help keep the penis skin nice and smooth; dry penis skin does not help penetrative issues. The oil should also contain vitamin C, a key component of collagen, a tissue in the body that gives skin its tone and elasticity.
